Someone shed a light on my ignorance!!!!!!OK, so Im
reading in Matthew of the genealogy of Christ. Which
to me implies bloodline. Anyway as you may know, good
ol Matthew traces Jesus the Son of David down to Joseph,
the husband of Mary. BUT, Jesus was born of a virgin
birth, therefore the blood and lineage of Joseph would
not be mixed with that of Jesus. Now I post this
risking embarassment of the upmost degree, for I'm
sure there is a obvious explanation, and I'm just
overlooking such. Or, hey jesus is God, He can have any
blood He chooses coarsing through His veins. I hate to
get caught up in the details and fail to recognize and
marvel at the fact that "hey, God has VEINS". Hello,
God in the flesh, to reconcile me. you. us. How
caloused I become to the miracle and love.
